cleaning house

i have a confession to make, cause that's what blogs are for, right?

i used to be a super organized, clean freak. 

i'm serious. 

the "i find it necessary to clean behind the furnace in the basement storage room on a regular basis" kind of gal. i loved charts, weekly routines, cleaning schedules, lists, household planners. flylady was my personal hero.

but somewhere between four kids, homeschooling, hobby farming, and a two-year-old foster baby things got messy. really messy. my old way of routines and schedules don't seem to work any more. i plan. i figure. i create. i schedule. we fail. i re-work. we try again. but none of these preparations make up for the fact that not one day seems the same, there doesn't seem to be enough time, and i just can't get organized.

enough is enough.

time to find my way back again. one baby step at a time. i'm starting here: shine your sink.

do you have the same problem? where are you gonna start?
